Summary

I am beyond excited to welcome Baby Bear 🐻🐾 into my heart and home. He’s a 9-week-old shepherd mix who just escaped the cold steel and chaos of Devore Shelter—one of the highest-kill shelters in the country. Baby Bear was found with his three siblings near the 19000 block of Kendall in San Bernardino, and now he’s finally safe in my care. He’s headed into a loving foster home where he’ll be cuddled, cherished, and shown the way by his new foster sister, Lily. No more fear. No more cages. Just healing, play, and the freedom to finally be a puppy. 💛 This foster journey is in partnership with The Cat and Dog Rescue nonprofit, @floefsociety—the passion project of my son and daughter-in-law. I’m so excited to share this journey with all of you and to open my home and heart along the way. His three siblings are still at Devore, and it is our mission to get them fostered and adopted. I hope you’ll consider fostering, adopting, and donating to nonprofits dedicated to saving animals from kill shelters and euthanasia lists. Every life is worth fighting for. #RescueBabyBear #DevoreSurvivor #FosterJourney #FloëfSociety #FosterLove #AdoptDontShop - Listen to my Morning Monologue: I’m sharing my take on pressing issues, enlightening research on human behavior, answering questions I get by email, and my favorite, most instructive interactions with callers. Everything you’ll hear is designed to help you become a better spouse, parent, family member, co-worker, friend, and human being. It’s the free therapy you need!
